      Comments about Samsung 40" Series 5 Black Flat Panel LCD HDTV:

      Great TV for the price. I do extensive research before making purchases like this by reading reviews and checking with consumer reports. Samsung has always been a solid choice for an LCD tv and this model isn't any different. We will be using this as our main TV for everyday use and chose the 60 hz refresh rate as it appears more realistic on day to day TV and movies than the 120 hz refresh rate. Our larger TV will be used for watching sports where the 120hz is nice to have. This was one of the highest rated 60 hz LCD on the market. I am very impressed with the sound quality and they have greatly improved it since I purchased our 52" in 2010. Getting the picture color toned down to make it look more like our 52" (which had a $300 calibration) took some time but looks great and more of life like picture instead of the bright showroom picture. One major CON for the TV is the viewing angle isn't as wide as I had expected. The picture quality does diminish slightly if you are not directly in front on the TV. All in all, great TV for the price!

            The sound quality is top notch, play aorund with the settings until you find one that works for you. If something doens't seem right, I'm sure there is a fix for it in menu options.

                I'm not a television expert, but I needed a 40" flat screen to sit on top of the credenza in my living room. This one is perfect. The picture is really nice. There are a lot of connections (that I don't use) and the ABT guys set it up in a flash to work with my cable box and Tivo, showed me everything I need to know and hauled the trash away for me. They're also really experienced when it comes to delivering in downtown Chicago.

                I bought the TV for my bedroom and love it. The only thing I was a bit dissappointed is that it was missing the cables for setting it up with no HDMI connection. At least these should be part of the package.

                The TV was easy to set up and operate. There are no silly noises when you turn on or turn off this unit. The color could be a bit richer and the sound a bit bassier but not bad for the price. The only other "con" is where the HDMI connections are. They stuck them on the side so you can see the wires sticking out of the side. I guess this is for someone who mounts it on the wall but no good for table top display as you have multiple wires curling off the side. All that said, a good product for the price!
